Barbara McCullough, 84, spoke exclusively with Fox 8 News, saying she raised the little boy for most of his life, but that his grandmother, Rhonda Pasek, was recently awarded custody because of McCullough's age.

The child's mother battled with drug use, which is why McCullough was awarded custody when he was a baby.

His grandmother, 50-year-old Pasek, was the woman passed out in the front seat of the car, along with a male friend, 47-year-old James Acord.

McCullough said she is very upset that people believe the child was raised in that kind of environment.

"With the idea this child has lived like this daily, that's what East Liverpool Police said."
